Sorry it has taken me so long to update. I was sick for about a week, and for most people that would be the perfect time to write a new chapter, but I was sleeping so it didn't happen lol. Well hopefully this chapter is longer than the last one, but it is hard to tell. Seriously. It looks like it will be so much longer when it is in a word document and then you post it, and it seems so much shorter. Anyways, I hope you enjoy it!
Endless Possibilities?
As Lorelai was driving back from the Gilmore house, which she liked to refer to as the torture chamber, she thought about her past relationships. She wondered if she would ever find somebody perfectly compatible with her. She wondered if she could ever find somebody she could spend the rest of her life with.
Little did she know, somebody else was thinking about finding "the one". The only difference was that he knew exactly who he had in mind. He didn't want to search, or date around. He only wanted her. He only wanted Lorelai. The only problem with Luke's master plan was that he had no idea if she felt the same way… He knew that she liked him as friend but he didn't know if she ever wanted to be something more. That is when Luke started developing his own little investigation to see what Lorelai was feeling so he wouldn't scare her off.
Luke was so absorbed in his own thoughts, that he didn't even notice Lorelai walk through the dinner door. She just walked across the room, sat on a stool at the counter, and waiter for him to snap out of his daze. After sitting in complete silence for about a minute, Lorelai got frustrated, and decided to take matters into her own hands.
"Luke…" She said quietly, feeling a bit uneasy about breaking the perfect silence. He didn't even blink. "Screw the silence." Lorelai muttered. "LUKE!" She yelled as loudly as possible.
Luke jumped, and sent a used coffee mug tumbling to the floor, where it smashed. He was surprised that he didn't notice her come in. Especially since she looked even more stunning than usual in her fancy dress. Usually she was the only one he paid attention to.
Luke cleared his throat awkwardly, "Ummm, hi… I didn't see you there."
"Well I guess I am just losing my touch." Lorelai said with a smile.
"What?" Luke was still a little dazed after the heart attack she almost gave him.
"Well I would have thought that after walking in here wearing this outfit," She gestured to the knee-length, black strapless dress she was wearing, "I would have gotten somebody's attention, but it didn't even phase you." Lorelai put fake look of disappointment on her face.
"Sorry. Next time you come in I will make sure to whistle at you and drop whatever I was holding."
"I think you already did the whole dropping whatever you were holding bit." Lorelai laughed and pointed to the broken coffee mug that still lay on the floor.
"Right." Luke said, and bent down to clean up the mess he made. When he has successfully discarded all of the broken pieces he walked back over to Lorelai. "So, do you want anything to eat?"
"No thanks. I think I will just take some coffee, if you have some mugs left."
"Well I guess you out of luck, that was the last clean mug." Luke joked.
"Luuuuuuuke!" Lorelai whined. "I need my coffee!"
"Okay, but I'll have to go to the storage room to get some more, because we don't have a single package left out here."
"Don't take too long! I will have to sit out here all by myself waiting for you."
"Its for your coffee!"
"I know but---"
"Fine." Luke interrupted. "I'll get Ceaser to come out and keep you company for the whole 30 seconds it will take me to go get coffee."
"Awww, that's sweet. You don't have to do that."
"Apparently I do if I ever want to go get the damn coffee! Maybe Ceaser will flirt with you a bit. Build up your self-esteem after the whole dress incident."
"Sounds good to me."
Luke went into the back room, and was searching through the shelves to find some coffee that wasn't decaf. Lorelai would definitely notice the difference.
He paused for a second, leaving his hand resting on the shelf. He still needed to think of a plan to take Lorelai out as friends, without her getting suspicious. If they were out as friends, then he could figure out where she was feelings-wise and decide where to take it from there. He wracked his brain for an idea. Then it came to him. He had his cousin's wedding coming up. That would be the perfect opportunity. Now he just needed to ask her…
Just as he finished that train of thought, Lorelai walked through the storage room door.
"That was sooo much longer that 30 seconds."
"What, were you timing me?"
"Nope just estimating. My stopwatch doesn't go with these shoes, so I was forced to leave it at home."
"Well I'm sorry it took so long. I got distracted." Luke realized his arm was still stupidly resting on one of the shelves, and he slowly lowered it.
"By what? I wasn't even in the room!" Lorelai joked. "Well I'll go back out and wait for my coffee, but you better be out before I decompose!" With that, Lorelai turned and left the storage room."
With a minute more thought put into it Luke had made his decision. He was going to ask Lorelai to go to his cousin's wedding with him… As friends of course.
He grabbed a package of coffee, and rushed out of the storage room, only to find the dinner completely deserted. All that was left of Lorelai was a note that read:
Hey Luke,
Sorry I couldn't wait for you to come back with the coffee.
Rory called, she is at the house, and waiting for me to come keep her company.
Duty calls. Have to entertain.
-Lorelai
Luke sighed, and found a rag to start wiping the counter. He would just have to wait until another day.
Sooooo? What did you think? It was definitely longer than my last chapter. I hope you liked it. I promise not to make you wait so long for the next chapter, but only if you review!
